[QUOTE="SuperBlack350z, post: 1596184, member: 566012"] I work at Best Buy and was pretty excited to see we were getting Alpine. Before we carried them, I had just bought my CDA-9835 from Sound Advice and was looking forward to having something better than the dismal crap we had before. Sadly, Alpine has really gone downhill in their transition into the huge corporate sea. Last years models were a noticeable step down from the previous year, with the 9855 having an overall downgraded feeling from the '35, and the joke that is glidetouch. This year's are absolutely atrocious. I can't even recommend Alpine anymore and feel good about it. We're getting Infinity in April, so this will probably be the last year that they're worth anything. I wish we'd gotten Eclipse, but then again, hopefully they'll at least retain their quality at CC. That was a long rant, but I get frustrated working there and watching what a once great company like Alpine has done to cater to the majority of rednecks and simpletons that wouldn't appreciate a good product if it bit them.
